I also spent too much time looking for ghosts to read their scanner text. 🤖🤔

One path is she can become an AI IG influencer 🤖📚 - then she can have a wardrobe made of sponsored content 🤑
A screenshot of Instagram showing a photorealistic computer generated woman sitting on a bed, wearing a purple shirt and reading “Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow.” She apparently is asking the viewer for summer book recommendations.

As Chancellor Gorkon might say, “You have not experienced Bruce Sterling until you have read him in the original Delvish.”

A conversation with ChatGPT, reading: 
Here is a quotation from Bruce Sterling: "Real futurism means staring directly into your own grave and accepting the slow but thorough obliteration of everyone and everything you know and love. Does this sound like fun? It can be. Just don't expect it to move a lot of product." Rewrite it so make it kinder, more approachable, and easier to understand than Bruce Sterling. Maximize user-second satisfaction; make the quote catchy, viral, and memorable.
"True futurism means facing life's impermanence head-on-acknowledging that change, loss, and renewal are all part of the deal. Is it scary? Sure. But it can also be exciting, even freeing, if you embrace it. Just don't expect it to sell out stadiums or top the bestseller list."
How about a version of the rewrite in Orwell's Newspeak?
"Real thinkfuture is unsee oldlife. All joy-lose, all unmake. Scaryfeel? Yes. But plusfree if goodthink it.
Don't doubleplushope for bigsell."

Remember the time…? (Actually anything from the Before Times seems unreal to me now 🤪)

I love that the source illustration comes from “the first book written by a computer.” (It was illustrated by a real human being, though.)
